Joe Brolly gave his most mournful interview ever on the current state of Gaelic football yesterday evening.
Speaking to Joe Molloy and Colm Parkinson on Off the Ball, he said that county players are 'indentured slaves', club players are 'ignored' and the hierarchy are doing nothing and are content to see the 'commercial colossus' that is the county game swallow up evverything else in the calendar.
Brolly wants dinky little tournaments like the McKenna Cup scrapped (recalling Jerry Donnelly's line about how not even McKenna's are going to the McKenna Cup anymore) and the county season to be run off between January and June - the league running between January and March, and the championship running from April to June, with the All-Ireland final being played at the end of June.
He said a radical change like this was required for the welfare of players.
